v2: Changes to SoC SDRAM EDAC code.

v3: Implement code suggestions for SDRAM EDAC code.

v4: Remove syscon from SDRAM controller bindings.

v5: No Change, bump version for consistency.

v6: Only map the ctrlcfg register as syscon.

v7: No change. Bump for consistency.

v8: No change. Bump for consistency.

v9: Changes to support a MFD SDRAM controller with nested EDAC.

+Altera SOCFPGA SDRAM Controller
+The SDRAM controller is implemented as a MFD so various drivers may
+nest under this main SDRAM controller binding.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "altr,sdr";
+- reg : Should contain 1 register range(address and length)
+
+Example:
+ sdr@0xffc25000 {
+ compatible = "altr,sdr";
+ reg = <0xffc25000 0x1000>;
+ };

This doesn't match the documentation, but I don't think this is a move
in the right direction anyway. Because Linux has/wants an MFD driver is
not a reason to add a sub node. It is a single h/w block and DT should
reflect that.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for reviewing. After discussions with the community and internally, I reverted to using the syscon case in revision 10. I apologize for the confusion but the syscon method seems to be a cleaner solution. I submitted the sycon version on 8/11/14.

Thanks,

Thor
